No, we admit students based on their strengths and talents, but all Harvard-administered aid is based only on financial need, and we treat all admitted students equally in terms of their eligibility for that aid.
The Admissions & Financial Aid Office will be closed for winter recess from Tuesday, December 23, 2025 at 5:00PM ET through Monday, January 5, 2026 at 9:00AM ET. We will reopen with normal business hours on January 5 for phone calls and emails, and on Monday, January 12 for regular drop-in visitors.
